Barnet Homes recently took possession of 249 newly acquired council homes in Colindale Gardens.
We caught up with Barnet Homes residents Hocine and his partner Soumeya and asked about their new home which has had some adaptations to accommodate their seven-year old, who is dealing with bone marrow complications.
Hocine said, “I can’t thank Barnet Homes enough, to be honest. Before, we were living in temporary accommodation for 6 years – it was ok, but not as lovely as this. This is amazing. It ticks all the boxes. I’m very happy to live here, and we’d like to carry on living here.” Soumeya added, “We love the property, it is new, clean and dust free. Our son can sit and play on the balcony and get some fresh air.
It’s a safe and quiet neighbourhood with a mix of families in our block. One of my neighbours brought me a ‘welcome package’ when we moved in – which was so nice and kind!”
